The aspirate and the homogenised soft-tissue specimens were cultured using a radiomefric technique. Fifteen hips proved to be infected and 63 sterile on culture of the tissues taken during revision surgery; 94% of t...
متن کاملSonication of removed hip and knee prostheses for diagnosis of infection.
BACKGROUND Culturing of samples of periprosthetic tissue is the standard method used for the microbiologic diagnosis of prosthetic-joint infection, but this method is neither sensitive nor specific. In prosthetic-joint infection, microorganisms are typically present in a biofilm on the surface of the prosthesis. We hypothesized that culturing of samples obtained from the prosthesis would improv...
